Native Americans Saw Buffalo as More Than Just Food (4K)

- The relationship between some Native American tribes and the American buffalo was a sacred one. Not only did it provide the former with food, clothing, and weapons, it also played a central role in their spiritual life.

Love. The buffalo. Strong fantastic bodies There’s a beautiful bond between them. Love and respect. Thanks for sharing..☀️
They don't waste anything from the buffalo.
They're not buffalos
@shawn v. they're bisons
@@harukatakahashi8822 There is such thing as different languages and synonyms. I'm lakota, and in that language they were called tatanka.....looooong before they were called bison.
This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "best dried food for survival" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Banevi Uncomplex Booster - (should be on google have a look )?
It is a great one of a kind guide for discovering how to make the ultimate survival food minus the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my friend got great results with it.
@STEVE P
That's a myth
Search Buffalo jump
The natives made bison herds jump off cliffs they'd harvest meat and skin from dead animals from the fall and waste plenty meat and hides of animals burried underneath
one thing i believe many Vegans should NOT blame people who are omnivores is the fact we evolved to be omnivores and if it was not for meat and animal foods for MANY cultures people would not be able to survive and thrive. There should be more understanding about other peoples cultures..
Exactly, in the arctic where it's dark for months out of the year, no one would have survived if not for meat eating. I have a few Inuit friends, one brought me back a tiny bit of whale blubber. I told him I'll eat it later and put it in my freezer, I never saw it again. lol.
I'm Canadian, btw.
Thats a misunderstanding, i eat meat but every vegan I talked to are more so concerned about modern meat eating, it’s much better to have your own chicken and cow in your backyard, going hunting for your meat, that’s different than having full factories of animals for slaughter and how we handle meat in America it’s all corrupt truthfully... Vegans do advocate it’s health benefits but it’s not untruthful that going vegan is a lot healthier and the right thing to do for the planet and ourselves in our modern day and age .
@@justathought973 Russian, Siberian, Alaskan, Canadian, Icelandic, Norwegian, Mongols, and etc.
Doubt we evolved into omnivores...as we were omnivores all along.
Well duhh Lol dont sit there and tell me vegans would live in the olden days and be able to survive. We’ve been hunting down animals for over centuries and vegans believe that if we stop killing our animals then the world would be a much better place. Plants are living things too lol what makes the difference we eat to survive and that’s how it was before we had all this technology now every food we eat is all processed through factories.
I don't know about other people but I never take animals for granted.
More than just food a way of life away of survival🎉❤
These are Bisons, not Buffaloes. Buffalo lives in Asia and Africa. America and Europe are home to American and European Bisons respectively. In Europe, they are biggest and strongest mammals, here in Poland they are highly protected by a law, because of natural diseases reducing their population, and their high significance to Poland as a whole. Both Buffalo and Bison are incredible bovids. Huge and strong, radiating pure might, that just screams "we are the beloved children of Mother Earth!" But they are different and shouldn't be mistaken. 🦬🐮🦬🐮🦬🐮🦬🐮
Stop your discrimination against Indians. You are embarrassing yourself. They are buffalo and show some respect.
@@wanaraz XDDDD What discrimination? Dude, I'm speaking some scientific facts.... I adore Native Americans more than You can imagine. I spend hours to learn about their customs and culture, even though I feel myself more closely associated with Oriental culture and lore, especially China... And I'm not even from these regions. So what? I'm telling You the TRUTH, man... They are BISONS. It's what their scientific name suggests. Buffaloes are much different animals, though coming from the same family, they evolved separately. What on Earth did indicate any kind of prejudice or discrimination against Native American folks in my comment? Nothing.
Ps. You calling Native Americans per "indians" seem much more disrespectful than anything I said in my previous comment just to clear up the common confusion.... But I guess You snowflakes really love to get offended in someone else's name...
Technically speaking in the early 1800s they were referred to as American Buffalo.
@@wanarazhuh? I as an actual Indian from India would like you to know the difference between Buffalo and Bison
Take it from someone who drinks Buffalo milk everyday they're not the same animal and have different names
For anyone wondering bison and buffalo are the same animal just different names.
Bison are big hairy bovids from North America and Europe
Buffalo are quiet cattle like in appearance but with black hide and large horns Buffalo are native to Africa and Southern Asia
People in America call bison Buffalo because they reminded the white settlers with beef and that's pretty much why bison are called Buffalo
The bison are called bison from thier scientific name bison bison .
No they aren't
Bison (Bison bison)
Water Buffaloo (Bubalus arnee)
Cape Buffaloo (Syncerus caffer)
Three different animals, so no, these are NOT the same :-)
@@KingaKucyk Why do you despise indians so much and their culture. You should be ashamed of yourself.
As an Indian who drinks Buffalo milk everyday I disagree
Tatanka are our relatives! Mitakuye oyasin! All creation including Tatanka are our relatives!
Imagine how many people would be needed to carry out all 2500lbs of that majestic animal
Why is this in the past tense? There are still quite a few Native nations that still hold this view. It's not like we all vanished. I expected far better from an org such as the Smithsonian
1:06 that eye tho
Please add closed captions.
These buffalos are noice
I'm not really into hunting and I am a vegan but I have deep respect for the Native American buffalo hunts.
Whatever you have to to survive
That's the thing they hunt for food and survival and have the utmost respect for animals
You still vegan?
TAMLA TANETTE MOORE IS THE MOST HIGH AND UNSTOPPABLE TOO.. HOLY TURTLE ISLAND..WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HERE ❤️
Very important
Bello
Bison, not buffalo
Thank you, thank you. Spread the word of the truth, also native american should be people who are born in the US, and American Indian should be a group a people in a american indian tribe, and the first people who came to what is now the United States were anicent white people that came here before the ice age and before the pyramids were build.
@@harukatakahashi8822 are you native??? Because I am.
@@Boo-lr8fj me too, I'm a native in the United states, I'm native American
@@harukatakahashi8822 glad to see a native on the internet. I thought I was the only one who watches RUclips but here we are.
I love this i got native amarican in me
Chief Muddy Bear lol got em
You do because you were born here in the United States but not American indians (not people who come from India) but if you want to know the truth, the true first people that came to this land of what is now the United States were anicent white people that came here before the pyramids were build & the ice age
@@harukatakahashi8822 white people always have to find a way to say they were here first if they were what happned to them? Why did they leave?
@@uniquanevaehful Next up: Egyptians were pale caucasians because I'm insecure about brown accomplishments and will sometimes claim arabic achievements as my own because caucasoid.
Kia ora
Who else is here from school
i am from my parents
Ethan bear fight bison
Buffalo and everything other living thing...
Primitive culture meets an alfa culture....they were still using sticks and cliffs, the opponent had been sailing seas already...its like age of empires ja
Kinda like when Muslims conquered parts of europe
A better book and easy reading is' "The Buffalo Hunters" by Mari Sandoz.
I thought they were gonna say they rode buffalo like horses.
Boi-
We are not indians. We are native Americans as we were here first, and we all did have a relationship with "tatanka," not only the plains natives.
unless we human became like a buffalo because they support each other we will never make it
Water sacks using bladder
if they were your brothers, you woN'T be hunting them. Only if you Respect them as who & what they are, then you would see how they could benefit you.
Idol worship is a Sin. But it can come is many forms. Believe in Jesus Christ
Maybe to you it is a sin to respect the natural world not to us if you want to preach go do it in your Europe
Leave us alone
Welcome to diversity and having other religions
they are not indeans
Yea that rude call them native
thats why they were slaughtered .. all at once , to wipe out the indiginous , native americans ,
Isn’t that a bison? There are no buffalos in a America
Yes American buffalo
I believe “Buffalo” is a nickname since they kinda resemble the animals from Africa and Asia.
Yea
So basically you depended on this animal so much you worshipped it like it was God
This is Interesting And the buffalo is poor :(
They're not buffalos
I’m here for the vegans. This was at a point in time in human existence in which we had to do what we what we had to do to survive. Cherokee OUT!
This isn't true. Eating animal products was and still is the optimal diet. They would not have been so strong if they were given vegan food back then.
Look, I've got American Indian (grandfather) ancestors in my own 'tree of life' (or cladogram if that suits you better.) At some point my Choctaw ancestors were booted off land they had used not just for hunting and gathering like the Plains people, but were farmers and builders of villages/towns. Deprivation of resources was just one way the American Indians have suffered since European settlement and the American westward expansion. Today, for reasons that are complex and probably misunderstood, many Indian tribal nations and many Americans with native ancestry suffer problems like endemic substance abuse, unemployment and high suicide rates. It is absolutely tragic, and I hope these communities have brighter futures.....
BUT, can we please stop this silly romanticism of the American indian? The native tribes were no more or less human than the Europeans who benefited from their decline and inferior level of technology. They did not live mystical lives of harmony with their environments, only taking what they needed from the land in accord with some supposed 'natural balance'
The evidence from archaelogy and particularly studies of the flora/fauna in pre-Colombian America make it clear that the Indians did what human beings have done EVERYWHERE they have settled. They changed the environment, directly and indirectly and usually in a way that was at least temporarily benefical for survival. I'll leave it with the most telling point (at least to me)... it will never be decided conclusively b/c we can only learn so much from what we have today, but its not only probable but to many researchers likely that the Indians were at least partially responsible for the extinction of all the other American megafauna that used to share the North American continent with the buffalo.
Dont no what to say man is man but i soppose the indian did not pollute the water bring cholera or destroy the forest FOR timber or kill off the game for cattle to graze
Etc etc
But do you know who were the first people who walk on this land of what is now the United States?
@JHB Luck I don't think it's racism, there are things that probably the people are were indians that got killed first by the europeans or the other way around. Then things got worse & some were taking some parts of the land for themselves (Europeans)
Yeah, but you're not the real native American.
First
Is it weird that I don't kill my brother, eat him, make tools out of his bones and then wear his face as a mask?
mmarlaire I think it's more like they only hunted as many as they needed, used the whole animal, and respected bison as a great provider. On the other hand, settlers tended to kill as many as they had bullets for, the left corpses to rot, and merely saw them as dumb animals.
mmarlaire Learn how to read between the lines
DanZam9 says the guy who doesn't understand I was joking
C MM the English settlers were actually using this as their main food source when they first came to the plains which was what caused the population to drop dramatically
mmarlaire this was like thousands of years ago dude and I’m sure there were some vegans
Indians used to run buffal off cliffs and didn’t use all of those Buffalo a lot of them went to waste so this video is not 100% correct
Who lied to you?
Firstly, "Indians" were not a tribe, but a collective term for hundreds of different groups with their own customs. Secondly, if they were so wasteful, don't you think it is ironic then that buffalo were not endangered before Columbus? History is full of lies, but a lot of it doesn't even bear up to common sense when you look at it objectively.
Not a single "civilized" person knows to sustainably use natural resources (both plants and animals) like tribals do. We should learn a lot from them; respecting and living in harmony with our natural surroundings. They are never wasteful.
Conection our family?????
Its just a food source so dependeble back on that years...and with high population of buffalos of course you seethem like a temple or so....but its just that food ....forget about your family connection or spirits talking thru this animals.....just food ....
There's a huge difference between eating meat out of necessary and then using every square inch of the animal for resources when compared to the horrible atrocities by animal agriculture and factory farming. With how 99+% of meat is produced today, the most compassionate, respectful, ecological, and healthful way to eat is vegan.
When you consider how soils are being ruined by plowing the atrocities extend to commercial agriculture in general.
You be vegan...and leave our indigenous people alone. Not everyone has to live like you or eat like you.
